Barbara Boxer: Let us come together

"Life's most urgent question is: What are you doing for others?" - Martin Luther King, Jr.

This year, on January 17th, we will celebrate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Each year, thanks to a 1983 federal law that I was proud to vote for, we take the third Monday of January to commemorate Dr. King’s birthday, his vital message, and his enormous accomplishments.

In his "I Have a Dream" speech, Dr. King shared his vision of a land where people of every race, religion, and creed could realize the American dream of freedom and opportunity. And in his "Letter from Birmingham Jail," Dr. King clearly outlined his views for inclusion in America. He wrote: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live within the narrow, provincial 'outside agitator' idea. Anyone who lives within the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds." On Martin Luther King Day, we take this opportunity to reflect on the dream of an inclusive society in which all people are truly created equal.

On this day and all year long, Americans share in Dr. King’s extraordinary commitment to improving the lives of all Americans and all peoples of the world. We remember his dream and his call for everyone to take an active role in making it a reality.

One important tradition of Martin Luther King Day is to remember his call to action. Today, as we mark the national celebration of Dr. King’s birthday, let us not merely reflect on his work: let us live his legacy. On this Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, I ask you to join me in vowing to make Dr. King’s dream a reality. Let us come together to take positive action to build a better, more inclusive, more peaceful America -- and while we are at it, an America where every vote counts.

I encourage you to learn more about Martin Luther King and his legacy by visiting the feature on my website at http://boxer.senate.gov/mlk/index.cfm.

This bi-coastal babe just makes you want to [barf] weep!

Now, view this in the light of her vow to fiercely challenge the nomination of Dr. Condolleeza Rice as Secretary of State!

Unless your an unborn baby in your mother's womb, right Barbara?

I really can't stand Barbara Boxer. She makes women politicians look weak and over emotional.

Just another one.

Who was the nut case from - Colorado ? - a few cycles back that was crying at her concession speech. I forget if she was VP wanna be or one of the wanna be candidates (Primaries).

Oh yea. I'd feel real safe with the likes of you in charge.

Patsy Schroeder. Cried at everything.
Boxer is a disgrace. Her "inclusionary rule" does not include Christians, Republicans, or Southerners.
For the love of all that is holy, Barbara, shut up.

"....Anyone who lives within the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds."

So, I guess nobody goes to jail for anything, huh?

What a stupid, naive statement. Just the thing to appeal to the Boxer crowd.

Thanks for the memory refresh.

I just shake my head at the thought that many people actually vote for Boxer.

Man, talk about taking a wrong turn on the road of life.

I thought she was kinda cute when first elected, thinking she would be a one-termer.

It ain't funny anymore.
